You know what's good? The movie CRUSH. You know what's even better? Getting PERSONALIZED FEEDBACK on your idea, OR outline, OR full script FROM THE ACTUAL SCREENWRITERS BEHIND CRUSH.

Thanks to the best person in the biz (@AlannaBennett) Iām offering feedback on outlines as well as brainstorming sessions via her website!

Iām a showrunner who is very much for this and knows that there were thousands of survey responses from WGA members who did, in fact, ask for it.
The WGA proposed that TV shows should hire a minimum of six to 12 writers, but some writers disagree.
āNobody asked for this,ā said one prominent showrunner. āEvery showrunner I know is against this. It doesnāt make sense to anybody.ā bit.ly/3sk06cw

Disney+ removed both seasons of a show Iād staffed on from the platform, ensuring that Iāll never make another dollar in residuals from it, or be able to watch it again.
Mind you, the show gave them 11 Emmy Noms last year.
Whatās ārealisticā about that?
Disney CEO Bob Iger says the writers and actors going on strike in Hollywood are not being ārealisticā with their expectations: "It's very disturbing to me." variety.com/2023/tv/news/bobā¦

So much talk during this strike about TV writer pay... but what about feature writers?
Let's say you get hired to write a feature OWA (Open Writing Assignment.) Typically, OWAs are based on IP that the production company owns, so the guild minimum is ~$68K for the first draft.

today I saw a cover artist say she usually gets 12 book covers a year, and this year she got only 2. Now this game studio has kicked out all their artists and replaced with AI. We are losing our jobs in real time. You should 100% boycott any company using AI and pirate their IPs

Hey Apple: no more eps of your hit show about workers using collective action to fight back against an exploitative tech company until you give your real-life workers a fair deal.
THANK YOU to the Teamsters and IATSE crew who honored our picket line! deadline.com/2023/05/writersā¦
Casey Rackham retweeted
These three writers shut down an entire production. IATSE crew refused to cross their picket line, so the producers couldnāt shoot, and sent everyone home. If just three WGA members standing together can do this, imagine how much power all 12,000 of us have! āš» #wgastrong

This is why weāre striking. The studios are trying to turn writing into a gig job. Eliminating the writers room, forcing screenwriters to work for free, paying late night writers a āday rate.ā If we donāt fight back, writing will cease to exist as a livable career.

The pattern is obvious: The proposals that they refuse to engage with are the ones that would protect writers the most. That would protect us from being turned into gig workers they pay by the day. We are fighting for nothing less than the survival of writing as a viable career.

I'm incredibly proud of how transparent our union is. In the @WGAWest's strike announcement, we included a list of our proposals, and the AMPTP's responses. Read it for yourself: it explains in black and white we're forced to go on strike.
Casey Rackham retweeted
Weeks in the writersā room are being cut, writers canāt produce their own episodes, staff writers donāt get paid for scripts THEY WROTE, hiring of Black/POC writers is still low, residuals are shrinkingā¦ TV & film are changing and our compensation should be adjusted accordingly.

Read it again for those in the back: āPART OF WHY WE STRIKE IS FOR BETTER CONDITIONS FOR THE NEW WRITERSā
